Ezekiel 20:9 in Context — Ezekiel 20
7 Je leur dis: Rejetez chacun les abominations qui attirent vos regards, et ne vous souillez pas par les idoles de l’Égypte! Je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu.
8 Et ils se révoltèrent contre moi, et ils ne voulurent pas m’écouter. Aucun ne rejeta les abominations qui attiraient ses regards, et ils n’abandonnèrent point les idoles de l’Égypte. J’eus la pensée de répandre ma fureur sur eux, d’épuiser contre eux ma colère, au milieu du pays d’Égypte.
9 Néanmoins j’ai agi par égard pour mon nom, afin qu’il ne soit pas profané aux yeux des nations parmi lesquelles ils se trouvaient, et aux yeux desquelles je m’étais fait connaître à eux, pour les faire sortir du pays d’Égypte.
10 Et je les fis sortir du pays d’Égypte, et je les conduisis dans le désert.
11 Je leur donnai mes lois et leur fis connaître mes ordonnances, que l’homme doit mettre en pratique, afin de vivre par elles.
